Battery breakthrough set to accelerate electric-car development

A team of scientists working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are claiming a significant breakthrough in recharging times for lithium-ion batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries generate electric current via the flow of lithium ions across an electrolyte, from an electrode to a cathode.
